Educational Materials Biology Educational Materials Physiology and Health Learning Activities
The Go Direct Centripetal force apparatus and Go Direct force and acceleration sensor make an ideal combination to explore rotational dynamics.

  • Investigate circular motion by measuring centripetal acceleration in relation to the radius of rotation and angular velocity
  • Explore rotational dynamics through an investigation of the force required to keep a mass in circular motion
  • Explore Newton's second law, angular acceleration, and the moment of inertia as they relate to circular motion

When students use this apparatus with a Go Direct force and acceleration sensor, they can conduct a variety of rotational dynamics investigations with a single experiment setup. This combination easily measures angular velocity and centripetal force and acceleration without the hassle of wires. Go Direct sensors connect directly to mobile device, Chromebook™, or computer using our free Graphical Analysis™ 4 app - no additional equipment or software purchases are necessary.

Ordering information: Go Direct force and acceleration sensor not included. It includes base with adjustable feet, bearing and spindle, rotating beam, sensor bracket, mass carriage with thumb screws, mass carriage with bearings, 50 g masses (2), 100 g masses (4).
